Wedding Venues in Aarhus: Centralværkstedet or Smedien?

A wedding in Aarhus deserves a venue that leaves a lasting impression. At Comwell Centralværkstedet, you can choose between two distinctive venues, each offering the perfect setting for everything from an intimate celebration to a grand wedding. Historic buildings, industrial architecture and original period features make these some of the most sought-after wedding venues in Aarhus for couples looking for something truly special.

Whether you're inviting a small group or a large gathering, both venues can be tailored to your plans. With flexible layouts, modern facilities and space for dinner, speeches, dancing and celebrations, we'll help you find the perfect venue for your wedding. Our experienced team is also on hand to guide you through every stage of the planning process, so you can focus on enjoying your special day.

Centralværkstedet

One of Centralværkstedet's standout features is its charming courtyard – a peaceful oasis in the heart of Aarhus. Here, your guests can enjoy welcome drinks or take a break between the day's celebrations, while you capture beautiful wedding photographs beside the historic red railway carriage, the original brick buildings or among olive trees, festoon lighting and fire pits.

Two Beautiful Wedding Venues in Historic Surroundings

Centralværkstedet is the larger of the two venues and accommodates up to 350 guests seated at round tables. Industrial heritage meets elegant details in an impressive space featuring soaring ceilings, original railway tracks set into the floor, striking iron columns, exposed brick walls and large workshop windows that fill the room with natural light.

The venue can be divided into smaller sections for a more intimate atmosphere, while the raised mezzanine lounge offers guests a relaxing space overlooking the celebration. This flexibility makes Centralværkstedet an ideal choice for larger weddings.

Located directly opposite, Smedien is perfect for weddings of up to 150 guests seated at round tables. The atmosphere is more intimate while retaining the same historic character. Exposed timber beams, suspended greenery, a fireplace, bar and cosy lounge areas create a warm and relaxed setting. Tables can be arranged as round tables, long banquet tables or for a standing reception, allowing the space to be tailored to your celebration.

Both Centralværkstedet and Smedien offer direct access to the courtyard, where fire pits, terrace heaters and festoon lighting let the celebration continue beneath the open sky. It gives you the freedom to move effortlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces and create the unforgettable wedding day you've been dreaming of.
